My Review of Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Peach:

Packaging:

The Maybelline Candy Wow retails in a chubby stick packaging. The packaging is color coded and very colorful. It looks very attractive and cute. The shade name Peach is printed at the bottom of the lip balm stick. The packaging of baby lips is very convenient to locate colors if you own more than one of these. The chubby lip balm stick has a cap which is tightly fitted. The maybelline lip balm is retractable and needn’t be sharpened for application. The only clinch with the baby lips is that we get only 2 grams of product whereas the normal baby lips were of 4 grams! I really don’t mind it but I am sure it is a point to be considered.

Shade:

Candy Wow Peach is a peachish pink shade. The color is very soft and adds a light tint of peach to the lips. This shade will flatter lighter skin tones really well. I have a medium dusky Indian skin tone so this shade appears to be very nude but I still like it for the days I prefer a nude lip. This candy wow Peach shade will work great for college going students, office goers or for anyone who wants a very nude tint on the lips. You can easily wear this Maybelline Peach shade of lip balm under your pink and brown lipsticks.

Formula:

The Candy Wow range of lip balms are extremely moisturizing and soft on the lips. It instantly moisturizes dry and chapped lips. They provide good hydration, subtle color tint and also have a sweet fruity scent to them. The formula of candy wow is non-sticky and feels extremely light on the lips. I really love the texture of this maybelline lip balm. It is better than the older versions of the maybelline baby lips! The pigmentation of candy wow peach is good being a lip balm. It gives a soft peach tint in a single swipe of the crayon itself, you can easily build the peach color to get a peachish pink shade. If you are looking for a deeper tint then you can go for brighter colors like reds and pinks in the candy wow lip balm range.

Staying power:

The baby lips candy wow lip balm lasts for good 3 and half to 4 hours on the lips. The peach tint starts fading away after 2 and half hours of application. Reapplication might be required to add color to the lips.
